Supplemental. Haven't checked lately, but when I lived in FL few years ago, the FL tax on Diesel was double the tax on gasoline. Makes me wonder about the whole price structure considering Diesel was cheaper than gas during the 70s fuel "shortages." Specifically, how much cost per gallon is fed tax, state tax, and EPA cost (i.e. gummite cost).
